I enjoyed the game and i really liked the aesthetics of it as well. drools. I think the people leaving negative reviews are forgetting this game was made by a single guy, and PERSONALLY i think this is a great game for a one person team. the game doesnt need to have a super deep/complex story to be enjoyable, its a game not a movie. (also its play time is ~2 hrs so you shouldnt go into this thinking its story is equal to silent hills'????) yes you can think the game is like cry of fear, but you cant hate it for not being cry of fear.

really amazing indie horror game, a really good cry of fear alike with a similar atmosphere and combat style, the story is amazing but a lot shorter than thought, 9/10!

Absolutely an amazing game! It has similar elements to Cry of Fear, but it’s unique in its own way. Very good story, great endings, and an overall amazing vibe. Loved it!

I was looking for a game that could capture the same atmosphere and feeling as "Cry of fear" and this game absolutely did :3 the story felt a bit slow at first, but everything came together perfectly by the end. The ending left me speechless, i absolutely loved this game~ Huge thanks and shoutout to the creator for such an amazing experience <3

a lot of people are probably calling this "We have Cry of Fear at home" and while thats technically true, im a huge sucker for cry of fear so i enjoyed playing another game like it
